Read and understand this manual completely before
attempting to set up or use this instrument.
This equipment has been designed and tested to conform
to IEC1010-1 safety standards, as applicable to laborato-
ry instrumentation. This applies only to the FB3000 when
used as specified in the documentation, in its intended
applications, with Fisher Biotech approved electrophore-
sis apparatus only. Usage in any other manner may not
provide similar performance or safety protection.
This equipment is provided with a 3-conductor, grounded
AC line cord. The protective earth ground is necessary
for safe operation. Do not use any other AC line cord
with this instrument.
The FB3000 is a high voltage power supply capable of
generating dangerous levels of voltage and current during
operation. Exercise caution when working around and
with the electrical connections of this equipment. Always
check electrical connectors, wires, and associated appa-
ratus for any signs of wear or damage before using with
this equipment. Be sure to use only electrophoresis
equipment that is suitably rated for the voltage and cur-
rent capabilities of the FB3000 power supply.
The output of the FB3000 power supply is intended for
connection to electrically isolated electrophoresis appara-
tus only. Use only with electrically isolated electrophore-
sis apparatus with minimum isolation of 3000V. Do not
connect any terminal of the FB3000 output to earth
ground. This may impair the safety protection provided
by the equipment, or cause equipment damage.
The high voltage output of the FB3000 power supply
takes some amount of time to decay when unloaded or
lightly loaded. Wait a minimum of 60 seconds after stop-
ping a run before touching the power supply leads.
This equipment has a protective ground leakage current
of 0.5mA at 120VAC, and 1mA at 230VAC. While signifi-
cantly below the 3.5mA limitation for laboratory instrumen-
tation, some applications and locations require a leakage
current below 0.5mA. Check the specific requirements of
your application before using this equipment.
This equipment is for indoor use only.
